Sony Sticking to Webb for Spider-Man?

January 14, 2010

After Monday's big announcement that Sony is rebooting the "Spider-Man" franchise, the attention has turned to which director and star will bring the new version to life.

According to Deadline Hollywood, (500) Days of Summer and music video director Marc Webb is the frontrunner for the director's chair, but that the studio has a "wish list" of directors that also includes James Cameron, David Fincher and Wes Anderson. You would think that District 9 helmer Neill Blomkamp is somewhere on that list as well.

The site says that Webb has met with the Spidey producers and studio executives to talk about getting the movie underway later this year for a summer 2012 release. The studio is also reportedly wanting to shoot the film in 3D.

So if webb gets the job, I look for Joseph Gordon Levitt to be Peter Parker Next.

as much as i love wes anderson, he'd be all wrong for spider-man. i'd like to see what webb could do with it. fincher might make it too dark. cameron could work too.

My vote goes to Christopher Nolan. If he saved the Batman franchise, imagine what he could do for this one.

I would hope fincher to handle batman after nolan is done with his batman franchise. For peter parker, no one other than joseph gordon levitt. He really deserves to be a star.

he might work I have mixed feelings I liked the first two films the third did suck I love raimi kind of liked maguire but I think someone needed to press the restart button I heard a couple of years ago that joseph gordan levitt was being considered think he would do great as long as it is not shia lebeof or robert pattinson
